Official election results are now available on our election page. A total of 11,134 votes were cast during the Non-Partisan Municipal Primary Election held on September 19th at Manchester polls. This total represents a nearly 20% turnout of all registered voters in the city – slightly less than the average turnout of all municipal primaries (22.5%) over the past 37 years.
The next election for Manchester voters, the Non-Partisan Municipal General Election will be held on Tuesday, November 7, 2017, in all wards. Ward ballots will also include two referendum questions - a non-binding question asking voters to select their favorite option for a city flag to represent Manchester along with a binding question seeking voter approval for Keno to be brought to Manchester. A public hearing on Keno will be held later in October to provide more information to residents.

Recent publicity about the 2017 changes to the voter registration requirements in New Hampshire has made the entire registration process seem daunting and confusing. For the large majority of new voters, registering to vote remains a simple process. You may visit our How to Register to Vote page for a sample list of documents and procedures that will be accepted to prove your domicile, identity, age, and citizenship for voting.
For those residents that simply do not have suitable proof of domicile, particularly if you are trying register on election day, you will be able to register and vote on election day by completing the necessary forms at the polls. The NH Attorney General memorandum released on September 18, 2017 explains the typical documents used to produce evidence of domicile along with the nuances within the legal definition of "domicile for voting purposes."

The Office of the City Clerk and the Manchester Board of Registrars is conducting a voter checklist verification process. This process began by reviewing the voting history of all 64,420 voters on checklists citywide and provides us with a report of any voter who has not voted since November of 2012. Currently, there are 8,577 registered voters who have not voted in these last nine (9) citywide elections. Beginning early June 2017, each of these voters will receive a postcard from our office to determine if they still reside in Manchester and wish to remain a registered voter.
This postcard will provide notification of the pending removal from the voter checklist and an explanation of how to update registration information. All registered voters who receive this notification will need to reregister with the Office of the City Clerk, or at the polls on election day, prior to voting at an upcoming election.
For more information on how to register to vote or questions about this notification, you may reach us at 624-6455 or by email at cityclerk@manchesternh.gov.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
WATER SYSTEM NAME: MANCHESTER WATER WORKS
ADDRESS: 281 LINCOLN STREET, MANCHESTER, NH 03103
PROJECT TITLE: WATER STORAGE TANK & PUMP STATION PROJECT
WATER SYSTEM PWS#: 1471010
INTRODUCTION
The Manchester Water Works (MWW) has applied for funds through the State of New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Drinking Water State Revolving Loan Fund (DWSRF), in accordance with Chapter Env-Dw 1100. This document addresses the requirements of Env-Dw 1107; the Environmental Review.
DETAILS of PROJECT
This proposed project will include construction of a new water storage tank for the Londonderry water system and upgrades at the Cohas Avenue Pump Station in Manchester.
Construction of a 2.5 - 3MG pre-stressed water storage tank. The new storage tank will be located adjacent to the existing tank at the end of Josephine Drive in Londonderry. Also, replacement of pumps, motors, electrical systems and other related equipment in the Cohas Avenue Pump Station. All proposed work will take place inside the building. The combined project is estimated to take approximately 24 months to complete with final completion at or around December 2018.
The estimated combined cost of the overall project is $6,150,000. The MWW has applied to borrow up to this amount to finance the project. Whereas this project constitutes only a minor project and no significant environmental impacts are anticipated, a finding of No Significant Impact (FNSI) is proposed.
PUBLIC REVIEW
Both the Board Water Commissioners and Manchester’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted to authorize funding in the amount of $6,150,000 for this project on June 16, 2016 and October 4, 2016, respectively. A public notice will be published by the Manchester Water Works and a 30-day comment period will be held in accordance with the DWSRF rules.
The full document is available at, and comments may be addressed to the following locations: Philip W. Croasdale, 281 Lincoln St., Manchester NH 03103, and NHDES Attn: Allyson Gourley, Environmental Review Coordinator, PO Box 95, 29 Hazen Dr., Concord NH 03302-0095.
